About 50 scientists who spent the past four months studying ecosystems in the Arctic will arrive at Pier 36 in Seattle 9 a.m. Wednesday aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy.
The 420-foot Healy, the nation's newest and largest polar icebreaker, will undergo maintenance in Seattle to prepare for next year's mission, said Coast Guard Ensign Tara Schendorf in a news release.
The cutter's crew of 80 worked with the scientists to study ecosystems in the Bering Sea, the Arctic Ocean and the Extended Continental Shelf.
